This page explains how to get Deeztracker running on your machine. You can either download a prebuilt installer from the releases page or compile the app yourself from source. Both paths are covered below.

Supported platforms

Deeztracker runs on Windows and Linux. macOS is not officially supported.

Download a release

The fastest way to install Deeztracker is to grab a prebuilt installer from the GitHub releases page.
1

Open the releases page

Go to the Deeztracker releases on GitHub and find the latest version.
2

Download the installer for your platform

Download the .msi or .exe installer from the release assets.
3

Run the installer

Double-click the downloaded installer and follow the setup wizard. Windows may show a SmartScreen prompt — click More info then Run anyway to proceed.
4

Launch Deeztracker

Open Deeztracker from your applications menu or desktop shortcut. The login screen appears on first launch.

Build from source

If you prefer to compile Deeztracker yourself, you need Node.js, pnpm, and the Rust toolchain installed first.
Prerequisites before building:
  • Node.js v18 or later
  • pnpm (the project uses pnpm as its package manager)
  • Rust toolchain (stable channel, installed via rustup)
On Linux you also need the Tauri system dependencies for your distribution. See the Tauri prerequisites guide for the full list of packages.
1

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/xScherpschutter/Deeztracker.git
cd Deeztracker
2

Install dependencies

pnpm install
3

Build the application

pnpm tauri build
The build compiles the Rust backend and bundles the Vue 3 frontend. This takes a few minutes on first run while Cargo fetches and compiles dependencies.
4

Find the installer

The installer is generated at src-tauri/target/release/bundle/msi/ or src-tauri/target/release/bundle/nsis/.
Run the installer to complete the installation.

Run in development mode

To run Deeztracker without installing it — useful for testing changes — use the dev command instead of building:
pnpm tauri dev
This starts the Vite dev server and opens the app window with hot module replacement enabled.

Next steps

Once Deeztracker is installed, connect your Deezer account to start listening. See the quickstart guide for how to enter your ARL token and play your first track.
